Unfortunately the only way I've been able to properly run widescreen
resolutions on this 915GM is by using the xserver-xorg-video-intel
driver package in Edgy/universe (915resolution doesn't help) and
modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

[...]
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
Express Graphics Controller"
        Driver          "intel"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
        Option          "Clone"                 "false"
        Option          "XvMCSurfaces"          "6"
        Option          "MonitorLayout"         "CRT,NONE"
EndSection
[...]
